One of our club members has done quite a bit of experimenting with Cactus Juice with good results. If you're not already familiar with the process, you'll need a good vacuum chamber and something like a small toaster oven to bake the blank in after it's been infused. I've also experimented with regular wood stabilization products with some success. It's really fascinating to watch the air get sucked out of the wood when the vacuum is applied. Amazing how much material will get absorbed back in.
